Chapter 202: Relics and Gold
Looking at the fire in front of him, and the eight monks who served as wicks in it, the peddler couldn't help but think that since ancient times, human beings have had high praise for fire, such as:
Fire is the ladder of human progress, uh, it seems wrong, or the sea of fire is endless, it doesn't seem right, and the peddler didn't come up with a good description of fire for a long time.
However, when I came up with a movie that seemed to be quite similar to the scene in front of me, "The Burning of Red Lotus Temple" also lit the monks with sky lanterns, but the monks in the movie were forced, and the group of monks in front of them were looking for their own death.
But that's about his own birds, the monk doesn't always say anything about the red lotus karmic fire, burning my remnants, and what else is there to get eternal life in the fire, just like a phoenix nirvana, he is just helping them now, what a merit this is!
Looking at the firewood and wick burning together in front of him, the vendor frowned and admired these monks, my brother was so far away that he was panicked, aren't they hot inside, and they don't scream, hot you talk, let's bring you a glass of water.
Li Yue'er was quite hard at the beginning when she let the old monk go up, and she couldn't bear to see this kind of scene, so she learned that the hawker was out of sight and out of mind, and stuck her head in the hawker's arms.
Li Er didn't look at it at all, and went back to discuss the hot air balloon with a group of subordinates under his Huang Luo umbrella, after all, that thing seemed to be of great help to him in the war.
"Pharmacist, Mao Gong, what do you think of the big ball brought by the national teacher?"
"Divine weapons," Li Jing said.
"Out of nowhere, if you fly to the enemy's head unconsciously with earth-shattering thunder, I'm afraid it is not enough to describe it with a catastrophe."
Li Ji's words caused the people around him to nod their heads, and Li Er also stroked his beard in agreement, "That's true, it seems that after this competition, we have to tie up with the national teacher again."
The people around listened to Li Er's words and shook their heads with a smile, no way, who made people have a lot of strange things, and they were all things that looked red at their eyes.
"What about Buddhism...?"
"Fend for yourself, see what the national teacher does"
"Well, let's see the results"
The guards picked up a bit too much firewood, and it burned for nearly an hour and a half, and the fire still couldn't get close to people.
When the vendor finished instigating the fifth cigar and the smell of the roasted meat gradually turned to burnt meat, the fire finally went down, and only the smoke was curling in the firewood.
Li Er and the others came out from under the umbrella and came forward with the hawkers and monks to look at the remains of the monks.
The first pile, after pulling it, the relics, no, the monks' faces collapsed a point, and the second pile was not, no matter how ugly it was, neither the fourth nor the fifth.
The corners of the hawker's mouth with a cigar in his mouth are getting higher and higher,, scared to death, I really thought it was a monk who could burn out the relics, it turned out that this thing also had to try luck like buying a lottery ticket, it seems that today's competition is to win, how to play these monks after you win?
At the same time that the hawkers have begun to think about how to torture the monks, the monks are still pulling the ashes with no giving up, and they have already pulled seven piles, and they have not seen a single relic, and occasionally there is a piece that looks like it, but as soon as they want to take it in their hands, it will flutter in the wind as soon as they exert their strength, like a dog biting urine bubbles, and they will be happy.
There is only the last pile of ashes left in front of him, if there is no more, he can only pull it to the ground to make fertilizer, and with an extremely depressed mood, the monk carefully pulls the last pile of ashes.
"Wow, I found it, I found it, Master Emptiness left one, I'll take a look, it's a tooth bone relic, haha, there is, there is a relic"
Several monks repeatedly confirmed that it was indeed a relic, and they all cried with joy after pinching it with their hands, and then they knelt down and kowtowed to the remains of Master Kongdu.
The hawker's frightened cigarettes have fallen, I'll go, this thing is really there, pull away the monk who was kneeling on the ground, and the hawker approached to carefully observe the relics found in the remains, Nima, it's really a tooth.
Pulling this tooth over and over with a stick, the peddler was tired, this monk hadn't brushed his teeth for a long time, the calculus was so bad, and it couldn't be burned by such a fire.
The monks carried the hawker aside regardless of their status, holding the tooth with their hands, extremely respectful, and now, the two sides are tied, and there is no need for the monk to be polite to the hawker anymore.
Even Li Er thought that the draw had ended now, but the peddler didn't plan to let the monk go, and stretched out his hand to stop the monk who was leaving, "Are you just leaving?" ”
The monk looked at the peddler blankly, "The national teacher, the two sides are tied, and the past is not to blame, is the national teacher going to break his promise?" ”
The peddler took an index finger and shook it in front of his face "no.no.no, it's not a tie now, because the result hasn't come out yet"
Seeing that the hawker was still untrustworthy, the monk couldn't help it anymore, "Demon Dao, what do you want, the result is obvious, you are blind"
Li Er also advised the hawkers not to go too far, to spare people and spare people, the hawkers are gone, cut the grass to get rid of the roots, if you don't take such a good opportunity to kill the Buddha directly, there will be endless troubles in the future.
"Your Majesty, the relics are all set by their bald donkeys, and we don't know if that thing is real, so the monk I want to ask, is the relics the same as gold, not afraid of real fire?"
"Nonsense, of course"
"Well, those were just some ordinary flames just now, and I still have some two-ray fires developed by the Daomen, I don't know if you dare to give it a try?"
"This..."The monk froze, the masses and the magnates were also stunned, even the old Taoist Wang was dumbfounded, when did the Daomen come out of the second fire, what kind of thing is that, Samadhi is really hot to the point that I have heard of it.
"Why, don't dare, if you don't dare, then you lose, Your Majesty..."
Before the hawker invited Li Erfa to fall, the monk's heart was horizontal, "Okay, since the national teacher wants to try, then please, but let's say it, if you can't take this relic with any of the two fires, the gambling game is over, and you can't go back."
"Good"
"A word is a certainty"
The monk carefully put the relics on a plate again, and the vendor looked at the material of the plate and shook his head, "Come on, change him for a gold plate."
For a moment, the monks were slightly moved, do you still know how to take care of public property, if the hawker hears this heart, he will definitely scold, I know a fart, we just want to make a comparison for you, when the time comes, the gold plate is fine, the relics are gone, see what else you have to say!
The eunuch beside Li Er took a golden fruit plate for Li Er's royal use and put the relics inside.
When everything was ready, the peddler pulled out a set of dicks from his ring, and the unaware crowd stuck their heads out like ducks pinched by the neck.
The hawker turned on the switch of the gas cylinder, adjusted the amount of gas at the outlet, and then lit the flame with a lighter, "Whew..."
Seeing the hawker's actions at the beginning, the monk was still a little worried, but after seeing the color of the flame, he was relieved, it was no different from ordinary fire.
But then, with the adjustment of the peddler, after the half-foot yellow flame turned into a shorter blue flame, the monk's face changed greatly, and from the whistling of the flames, people heard the difference in this fire, and a few anxious monks were about to pounce and snatch the relics away.
As soon as the guard next to Li Er stretched out his hand to stop him, the helpless monk had to collapse on the ground, crying bitterly, everything was adjusted, and the vendor aimed the flame at the relic on the plate, "Snort..."
With the erosion of the flames, it is visible to the naked eye, and the teeth are shrinking little by little, and finally disappear "poof." The peddler turned off the flames, tightened the gas cylinders, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no hair in the red plate.
Fortunately, I was worried that the relics were really harder than gold, but it seems that it is still no match for the power of oxygen cutting.
When the plate was cold, the vendor shook the plate and showed the monks, "Is there anything else to say now?" ”
The monk closed his eyes and was silent, and the hawker was bored, "That's okay, since you don't say it, I'll say, I think it's all Tang people, and I won't kill them all, Your Majesty, Poor Dao implores Your Majesty to give an order, all monks under the age of fifty in the Tang Dynasty will immediately return to the world, from now on, no one more person will be added to the Buddhist door, and all the Buddhist property in the world will be returned to the public, if there is any disobedience, beheaded"
Li Er looked at the hawker for a long time as if he didn't know him, and after taking the test in his heart, he nodded heavily, and only said one word "quasi" (to be continued. )
